M-P uplifts town after tragedy

MARYSVILLE – In 2001, after the Sept. 11 tragedy, the New York Yankees went on to win the World Series.

Using that same karma, school board president Tom Albright says the Marysville-Pilchuck High School football team deserves to win the 3A State Football Championship.

The Tomahawks will play defending champion Bellevue Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Tacoma Dome in the semifinals.

In the wake of the Oct. 24 shooting at M-P the one thing that has lifted the spirits of the students, and the entire community, has been the play of the football team.

“If you weren’t in to football before, you are now,” Superintendent Becky Berg said. “It’s been a season to remember.”

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring the Tommies started the positive feelings a

week after the tragedy, in a win over Meadowdale.

“And it’s built up from there week after week,” he said. “The Tacoma Dome, that’s a milestone in itself.

They have lifted the spirits of the community. It’s been neat to see.”

Albright agreed that the momentum started with the Meadowdale game.

“It was wonderful how both schools came together,” he said. “The team’s been a real rallying point.”

The school board leader said he knows the Wolverines will be tough to beat.

“It’s a huge hill to climb, Bellevue,” he said.

Albright said the whole school board is planning to go to the game. In fact, after a joint school board-city council meeting Nov. 24, an impromptu “Go Tommies” were the final words.

As for the Tacoma Dome on Friday, Albright said, “I hope the whole place is red.”

MARYSVILLE – Like many students who are minorities or living in poverty, Mackenzie Duggins was having trouble with grades in school.

So the 12-year-old seventh-grader at Totem Middle School joined a program to help map out her future.

“It was hard to focus,”

especially in reading and math, she said.

So she joined the Minorities Achievement Program at the Marysville YMCA three years ago.

She’s now getting A’s and B’s as she gets help during the 30-minute homework sessions from peers and teachers in the MAPS program.

Mackenzie admitted that if she was home, she’d

be eating and watching TV. “I wouldn’t be doing my homework,” she said.

MacKenzie is one of about 1,000 students who have been helped by MAPS since it started in town about a decade ago.

M-P routs Columbia River to advance to semis VANCOUVER – Austin Joyner and Killian Page stood out on offense and defense in smashing Columbia River 63-6 in a state quarterfinal game last week. Joyner ran for 201 yards and five touchdowns on 12 carries. Page scored three times and ran for 186 yards on 13 tries. Page also stood out on defense, with two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

It was Page’s first interception midway through the first quarter that took the wind out of the home team.

Page ran the interception back 42 yards then scored on a 38-yarder on the next play to make it 13-0 after the kick was blocked. Joyner scored on a 12-yard run earlier in

the game. A 39-yard run by Page set up that score.

Columbia River had its best drive of the game, thanks to 25 yards in penalties against M-P and 26 yards in passing by Chieftain quarterback Gabe Evenson.

But Page’s interception ended that threat.

Columbia River had another good drive on its next possession, but the threat ended at the M-P 19-yard line. It took M-P just three plays to score after a 16-yard run by Joyner, 23 yards by Page, and a 45-yard TD by Joyner to make it 21-0 after a two-point conversion

by Joyner.

After a short punt, M-P then scored in two plays.

Joyner scored on a 48-yard

run to make it 28-0 with 1:08 left, still in the first period.

Page intercepted his second pass, giving the Tommies great field position again. A few plays later Joyner scored a 4-yard TD. He also scored on a 22-yarder, and Page scored on a 12-yarder with 2:16 left in the half to make it 49-0.

Page picked up where he left off at the start of the second half, running 40 yards for a score to make it 56-0. M-P kept piling it on, despite a running clock and the second string in. Galdino Fajardo went on a 68-yard jaunt, setting up a 2-yard TD run by Keshaun King.

Columbia River avoided a shutout with a 31-yard pass with 3:05 left in the game.

Bellevue defense tough to score on

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Tomahawks’ run game will be tested against the hardhitting Bellevue Wolverines’ defense Nov. 24 at the Tacoma Dome in the state 3A playoffs.

No. 1-ranked six-time defending state champion Bellevue, with an unblemished record, brings a 4-3 scheme that is tough to score on and an offense powered by the winged T that hasn’t failed them since 2007.

No team has scored more than 21 points against Bellevue this season, and that was Mercer Island, a team they squashed 42-21.

“Every yard we can get is crucial.”

Brandon Carson, M-P coach The Wolverines’ defense trounced Peninsula 31-7 Nov. 21 in the semifinals.

Though their offense was penalized for being sloppy in the first half, Bellevue was always in the lead and scored rushing touchdowns from four players.

The Wolverines excellent offense materialized in the second half which propelled their 10-0 halftime lead to 31-7.

The Wolverines can pass

the ball as well.

They won from the air when they took out Sumner 38-0 the game before Peninsula.

Wolverine quarterback Justus Rogers completed two touchdown passes while he threw for 133 yards.

M-P’s solution is to fight for every yard, and the defense must not give Bellevue any extra yards, coach Brandon Carson said.

“Every yard we can get is crucial,” he said.

M-PHS FROM Page 1 “It was a lot of fun,” she said. “Other teachers and parents would pass and honk at us.”

Anguiano said M-P had a bigger crowd there than Columbia River, which was the home team.

“There was a lot of positive energy there,” she said.

Anguiano said the team has given the students something to focus on. In a sense, they feel like they are part of the team.

“United – M-P strong,” she said. “We’re very pumped up for Friday.”

Memorial to shooting victims comes down

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE – In its days of recovery since the school shooting, MarysvillePilchuck High School and the surrounding community took its next stride by taking apart the memorabilia on the school’s fence south of campus Nov. 24.

Exactly one month since the incident, Public Education coordinator of emergency management Mary Schoenfeldt said now is the time.

It is a crucial step to normalcy. “It’s the right time.

We can get caught up in the moment and leave things up

there too long,” Schoenfeldt said. “The process needs to be slow and respectful.”

Students and community members of the community were invited out Nov. 24 too participate in removing the perishable materials on the fence. Those materials would be burned and placed in an urn, and broken glass and other harmful objects would be disposed of.

Schoenfeldt explained that there is a median between the timely removal of a site of remembrance.

It could be too soon or too late.

“People may not have had the chance to add to it or work through their own

processes,” she said.

The school administration notified families of the Marysville community that their objects of remembrance were going to be removed.

“That is determined by what the situation is initially and by talking to students and listening,” Schoenfeldt said. “Some students may say ‘It’s really difficult for me to come by this fence every day’ or ‘I want my school back.’”

It seemed that most people were of concurrence with the healing process told by Schoenfeldt.

“It’s a good time. People can start healing, it’s been

Students and community members take items off fence that was makeshift memorial at M-P. a horrid situation,” resident Jaime Smith said. “For little ol’ Marysville, this is something that will always be remembered.”

But others had different

thoughts.

“I think it’s too soon,” M-P freshman Braeden Boyle said, who thought the fence acted as a beacon of hope through the commu-

nity’s tough time.

Though Boyle thought the materials left on the fence were inspiring, he was hoping it could be kept up a little longer.

Marysville to hire Recovery Director to help in wake of deadly shooting MARYSVILLE – The Marysville School District hopes to hire a Recovery Director using grants following the Oct. 24 shooting.

Superintendent Becky Berg said in the annual meeting with the City Council that it could take from one to five years for the community to heal.

The position will deal with mental health needs, coordinate agencies and more. The district also is

looking into a permanent memorial and an online thought exchange on what to do with the cafeteria.

Berg also talked about the long legislative session coming up, with leaders being asked to fund basic education and smaller class size.

She also said the district wants to help students graduate in five years or less because “every child develops differently.” She also said an emphasis will be

made on first-graders learning to read at grade level.

“One-hundred percent may seem unrealistic, but we’ll go for it,” she said.

Board member Chris Nation added the district needs to do a better job of getting parents to understand the importance of students being in school.

Mayor Jon Nehring talked of city accomplishments.

He talked of the city revitalizing downtown with the

hope private enterprise will follow. He talked of transportation improvements and nuisance laws. He talked of hiring six new officers

the past 1 1/2 years and the effort to seek grants for a youth services unit. Similar efforts have reduced burglaries and nuisance com-

plaints.

“If the results are what we think they will be we will then find a way to fund it,” Nehring said.

Columnist moves on Back in the 1960s, The Globe ran book reviews by Wilma Turner. She had a rare ability to get into plots as though she were on the scene.

She wrote with such wit that it was impossible to read some of her reviews without smiling or laughing out loud. Wilma was the heart of Marysville’s little library, housed, along with City Hall and the jail, in the small brick building now home to the Baxter Senior Center.

I mention her because, like Wilma, I’ve written my last column for the Globe. A previous Globe owner and publisher, Kris Passey gave me my start.

Kris spoke his mind and held strong opinions—my kind of guy.

We argued our way into a friendship that lasts to this day, and it was Kris who gave me my start in 1999 as an op-ed columnist.

Kris has gone on to teaching journalism at Western Washington University and serving as a publicist for worthy causes back in D.C. It’s been 15 years since my first column. It was a graduation-time celebration of the achievements of Marysville’s best and brightest, their awards, honors and plans for the future.

I can think of no finer blessing on semi-retirement years than being given the honor and responsibility for having to think responsibly and share those thoughts.

I got to carry a press pass that opened doors that would otherwise have been closed to me, acquainting me with movers and shakers and even gifting me with the occasional free lunch.

I’ve used the pass to lever my way into interesting conferences when traveling. I got tossed out

(gently) of one in Venice. Topsecret stuff, they said. No press.

A friend asked why I was no longer in the paper. My answer, though a bit confusing on the surface, was accurate. I told him I had to quit to gain time for writing.

Over time, my articles tended to be over 1,000 words and were getting longer.

One problem was, the paper has room for only 800 words.

The other was that my research dashed off this way and that, Robert Graef generating way more op-ed material than any small newspaper could handle.

So my files are stuffed with fascinating (to me, at least) unpublished essays, probably two for every one published.

The 15 years of digging into the backgrounds of issues infected me with a passion for identifying important but unaddressed questions, and I am claiming the rest of my years and energy for pursuing those questions.

These are big questions.

Someday I’d like to write a book titled, “How to Develop an Underclass,” which would be a review of the destructive policies that have so eroded at hope and opportunity in America.

That’s it. Thanks, readers, for all the thoughtful comments over the years. Do what you can to keep small newspapers alive and interesting. Use your voices to keep radical pundits and hired word-slingers from steering public debate. Become involved.

Letters to the editor Thanks to Tulalips for helping our agency

Thanks for coverage of school’s robotics program

Thank you Tulalip Tribes for your generous support to All Aboard for replacement of our wobbly, chipped, and stained chairs and tables.

We are much safer and a whole lot “classier” given your grant funds.

Thank you also for inviting us to participate in your annual Raising Hands Celebration.

While we savored one scrumptious dinner, we learned of the extensive variety of 300 non-profit organizations you support in the region.

Humbly, you shared how you’ve donated over $63.6 million.

You gave us gifts that included prints from the talents of James Madison, a phenomenal artist, as well as a history of the Tulalip Tribes.

You shared your mission, history and tradition of “raising our hands” to applaud and give thanks to those who have given to us and the numerous organizations that contribute to our communities.

You made us feel special, appreciated and grateful in living in a community that cares.

Most importantly you shared your love, given it was the day after the Marysville-Pilchuck tragedy.

Yes, the celebration agenda changed for all the right reasons, but most importantly the message that replaced the agenda was heartfelt, wise, sincere and so vitally important in our hearing and remembering.

“Listen to our youth, take time to be with your family, and listen, listen, listen.

We thank you elders and board members for sharing this message and a very special evening.

As members of the Snohomish County community, it is now our time to “raise our hands” and applaud the Tulalip Tribes for their ongoing contributions toward enhancing arts and culture, education/youth, environment, health care, public safety and social services to our communities.

The Tulalip Tribes is truly a first-class organization that cares and shares and makes a tremendous difference for so many in our region.

All Aboard board members

Thank you for the coverage of the board meeting last Monday and your inclusion of the exciting work we have the privilege of being a part of through the First Tech Challenge with US First Robotic and FirstWA. Our educators at Cedarcrest go above and beyond to support their students.

Mr. Shreeve teaches Science Technology Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.) and has grown the robotics segments in school.

We have another teacher, Mrs. Kukull, who teaches science and is leading the younger division’s after-school program called First Lego League.

They use the same processor we use, but instead of metal gears and sharp edges, the league allows kids to learn the principles of robotics in a more-forgiving environment built exclusively from Legos.

Our kids were a little nervous and excited to show other adults some of what they have been learning.

The robotics programs are growing across the country and the synergies between these clubs and local businesses is a profound way to introduce our students to people in the career world in a way that helps them define their interests, hone their abilities, and learn skills not often taught as part of the “common core”.

We extend our thanks to the businesses who help make this opportunity possible, to the news groups who cover and promote young people striving for success, and the teachers and administrators who give of their time and budgets to help make this a success.

From the Cedarcrest Robotics Club to the Marysville Globe and you, please accept our heartfelt gratitude.

New home, but needs the same

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Community Food Bank marked its first Thanksgiving meal distribution at its new location Nov. 21, and thanks to a new signup program, holiday basket coordinator Sara Katanik expects them to serve close to 450 families through Nov. 24.

That’s up dramatically from last year, when the food bank provided for more than 300 families.

“I think a lot of that increase is just due to the economy,” Katanik said.

“More people are working, but they’re not making enough to make ends meet.

It’s hard to stretch your dol-

lar when you’re paying four dollars a gallon for gas to get to work. One of our families makes too much to qualify for food stamps, even though they’re living on disability.”

Katanik credited the Angel of the Winds Casino with kicking in 100 turkeys, although Jerrie Inman, who’s on the food bank’s board of directors, hastened to add that a number of families prefer the chickens they have available during the holidays.

While the food bank could always use more canned fruits and vegetables, it’s recently seen shortages in macaroni and cheese and canned meals.

“Our clients are often

busy people who don’t have a lot of time to cook, so anything that they can fix fast comes in handy,” Inman said. “With chili or beef stew, you can just dump it in a pot and heat it up.”

The food bank could also use donations of non-food items, from smaller-size servings of shower soap and laundry detergent to toilet paper.

“We used to get all the toilet paper we could ever need from Kimberly-Clark, but then they went away, and no one else thinks to get it for us,” Inman said.

Katanik pointed out that the donations the food bank receives over the holidays often have to last them until the Letter Carriers’ Food

Drive in May. “People think about us during the holidays, but the rest of the year, we’re not always in the forefront of their thoughts,” Katanik said.

The food bank will post its Christmas meal distribution days and hours online at www.arlingtonwafoodbank.org.

In the meantime, families should sign up by Friday, Dec. 12, to be eligible for “Operation Christmas Hope,” the food bank’s toy store for children up to 18 years old. Christmas gifts will be distributed from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 17, at the Arlington American Legion Post 76 Hall, at 115 N.

Volunteers remain an equally vital resource.

Members of the local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs helped stock the shelves and escort shoppers through the aisles for the Thanksgiving meal distribution, and Deierling is looking to secure sailors from Naval Station Everett for the Christmas meal distribution, from 2-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 16, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, Dec. 19, and Monday, Dec. 22. With the food bank serving 5 percent more clients this holiday season, more volunteers, and more food and money donations, are needed.

“That goes double for our

Toy Store,” Deierling said of the program for children 17 years and younger, which is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 17, and Thursday, Dec. 18, in the Red Curtain Arts Center, at 1410 Grove St. “The donations there are lagging severely, and we expect even more kids this year,” he added, as he recalled that 1,055 children were served by the store last year. “We could especially use more gifts for teens, since those always seem to be in short supply.”

MARYSVILLE — After the Marysville Community Food Bank completed its holiday meal distribution last year, director Dell Deierling knew they needed to talk turkey, literally.

“We’d been able to offer smaller chickens to everyone, with some turkeys set aside for our larger families, but when we talked to our clients after the holidays, what we heard was that everyone loves turkey,” Deierling said. “Even smaller families and single clients wanted turkeys, so they could have leftovers and make soup out of the carcasses after their big meals.”

Deierling bought the turkeys for this Thanksgiving,

not knowing where the funding would come from.

Fortunately, the Tulalip Tribes kicked in $5,000, in addition to $10,000 they’d already donated to the food bank’s “Food For Thought” weekend meal program for students, plus $26,500 for other food items to last through the holidays.

This came in handy as the food bank began its Thanksgiving meal distribution Nov. 21, serving more than 200 families that Friday. Deierling estimated they would serve 750 through Nov. 25. He also credited Froso’s Greek Restaurant with supplying 300 pounds of margarine, but noted the food bank still has pressing needs.

“We could use more canned hams, since those

Ho-ho-ho lights mean ha, ha, ha fights

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON – The Meadowbrook homeowners are so excited they can hardly wait until Thanksgiving to turn on their Christmas lights. Some might even sneak them on early.

“We taunt one another,” Lin Ruchty said with a laugh. “We keep being unable to resist turning them on.”

It’s all fun and games. The neighborhood of about 12 homes on a cul de sac near Cascade Valley Hospital started an official Christmas light competition last year.

Unofficially, Steve Baker and Ruchty started com-

peting about five years ago.

Some new people moved in, and then “it got a little crazy,” she said.

Last year, everyone did it, so they had the owner of Hubbs Pizza judge the competition. Ruchty and partner Rita Mangum won the $50 Hubbs Pizza certificate the homeowners association put up as a prize.

Ruchty said there’s already some trash talking going on, adding one neighbor’s yard looks “like a shooting gallery. We’re going to have a run for our money this year,” she said.

Some of the neighbors already are putting up lights. Others have a strategy of putting them up late

all at once. “Now, nobody will tell you exactly what they are going to do,” she said. “They say it’s none of your business.”

Ruchty said she loves the people in her neighborhood. “I’ve never lived anywhere like this,” she said.

“Neighbors will be talking then suddenly everyone’s congregating in the middle of the street.”

Ruchty said everyone gets along, even though the families ages range from 20s to 80s. “We watch out for each other,” she said.

The Christmas lights aren’t all they do together. In the summer, they go on camping trips to places like Winthrop in Eastern

Washington.

The community seems to know about the competition. Last year, many people visited the street during the holiday. So, the neighbors decided this year to help out the Arlington Food Bank. People that come see the light show are asked to bring food and place them in containers on the street.

Also, on Dec. 13, Santa will visit the neighborhood with the help of the fire department.

If last year is any indication, the food drive should be a success.

“It was a lot of fun, and we had a ton of traffic on our street looking at all the lights,” Ruchty said.

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

MAP FROM Page 1 said students meet at Marysville-Pilchuck High School and the YMCA each week where they meet role models and talk about life after high school.

Nellie Glowaski, who works with the middle schools MAPS students, said she enjoys setting an example for the kids.

“I like engaging with the teens in conversation — interacting and being a role model for the kids. It’s meaningful to come to work every day and be an important part of their life,” the senior at the University of Washington said.

Craig Chambers, the local MAPS director, said they meet in the old food bank next to the Y in what is now called the Youth Development Center.

“It’s a place for kids to grow,” he said.

JJ Frank, associate executive director of the YMCA, said MAPS started out only being for minorities, but last year it expanded to help all children in poverty, too.

“It’s about overcoming barriers to the achievement gap, and college readiness and poverty plays a big part of that, too,” Frank said, adding that MAPS has helped local 50 students

November 29, 2014

financially through college scholarships.

“The mission is to motivate and support students of color and immigrant students in poverty,” he said.

He added that 80 percent of the students are on free or reduced lunches and 70 percent of their parents haven’t graduated from college, some even from high school. He said MAPS connects kids to college and helps them reach their dreams. But MAPS also helps students learn to give back, as they volunteer every month.

“When people give to you it’s important you learn to give back,” Frank said.

Ada Garza, one of the MAPS teachers, said, “This is a free program from the community, so when they learn to give then they can receive as well.”

Diana Orbeoadze, a senior at M-P, and Ivana Garza, an eighth-grader at 10th Street School, said they enjoy giving back.

Ivanna, 13, said the middle schoolers paint over graffiti on the trails near the library, pick up trash at the high schools and help the food bank. “You feel more involved,” she said.

Orbeoadze has helped the food bank and with Martin Luther King Jr. events. At one event she learned an important message from a

Steve Powell/Staff Photo

Ada Garza and MAPs kids. girl in a wheelchair.

“She could not walk or talk, but she did a painting and had the greatest smile,” Orbeoadze said. “I realized I take things for granted.

I appreciate things” more now.

Many MAPS students appreciate different aspects of the program. Orbeoadze said she is thankful how MAPS helped her figure out how to apply for financial aid and other things related to college. She started with MAPS six years ago in a Russian-Ukraine group.

“It’s like a second home to me,” she said, adding she would “live here in the summer.” She said the program has helped her become more “culturally aware. It brings us together and helps us grow to be better people.”

Yaqueline “Jackie”

Carretero, a junior at M-P, started with MAPS two years ago and said it has helped her “step out of her comfort zone.” She’s always loved the ocean, but never thought college would be available to her. But through the program last summer she was able to work with ORCA. She got to go out on a boat into the Puget Sound, collect samples of plankton, and then study them back at a lab. Now she’s confident that that’s what she’d like to do for a job.

Mackenzie appreciates not only the help she gets with homework, but also that she gets to hang out with friends, play games, play on computers and go outside. She also loves the field trips, going to places such as the corn maze, aquatic center, Wild Waves, Sounders games, etc.

“We meet a lot of new people,” she said.

Ivanna has been coming to MAPS for three years.

Her mom works with the program, and Ivana saw how “MAPS impacted them. I wanted to be part of the MAP family. I saw her with students, and I wanted to be a part of it.”

Like Mackenzie, she appreciates the homework help. “They are always on

top of you with everything,” she said, adding she’s more likely to do homework there than at home. Ivanna said she realizes how lucky she is to have her mom at home to help there, too.

“Many of the other kids don’t have that,” Ivanna said, adding she wishes the program could help more kids, but many aren’t interested when they hear it involves homework and community service.

Ivanna’s mom, Ada Garza, said her favorite part of the program is watching the “huge differences” in students.

“When they first come, they are getting bad grades,” Garza said, but MAPS helps them by promoting higher education so they hear guest speakers, visit colleges and learn about career choices.

Garza, a former sixthgrade math teacher in Mexico, said one student questioned why they visited the University of Washington and Seattle University when none of the MAPS kids could afford to go there. Garza said they just want to show students different options.

“Money doesn’t fall from the sky,” she said, explaining how they help students find scholarships. That student

7

now attends SU. Another student wanted to go to Everett Community College then transfer to the UW. Garza explained how becoming a Husky would be possible right away. That’s what the student ended up doing and loves it.

“If we didn’t push them” some would not succeed, Garza said. Some students wonder why they should even finish high school.

“My dad didn’t finish, and we do fine,” Garza said some students say.

Others think “they are not good enough,” she added.

As for homework, Garza said many of the students’ parents would love to help, but some don’t even know how to read or write English.

It saddens Garza that some students don’t show interest in MAPS until it’s too late.

Schools send them to her when they are way behind on credits to graduate.

“They say, ‘How come I didn’t meet you before?’ “ she said. “I cannot do magic.”

But she can help. Students can earn high school credits to help them catch up by volunteering and being a guest speaker for MAPS. “We help them navigate so they know what to do,” Garza said.

Local writer’s piece on growing up ‘Martian’ excels in national competition

MARYSVILLE – Many of us think we are so different from our families that maybe we were adopted. But J.R. “Judith” Nakken of Marysville thought she was so different that she must have been from Mars.

Thus her memoir is called, “Confessions of a Martian Schoolgirl.”

She entered the piece in a contest sponsored by LifeRich Publishing and Readers Digest Inc. Out of several thousand entries her piece is still in the running in the top 10.

The writing is about her school days from age 4 to 15. She first went to the first grade

in a one-room schoolhouse at 4. She was then taken away by her mother and sent to kindergarten at another school.

“I skipped the first day,” Nakken said.

At age 15 she was to be the high school valedictorian, but instead she was expelled for refusing to apologize after insulting her English teacher.

“It was a troubled childhood,” she said. “I was not a good kid.” Her short story ends with, “I married an earthling.”

Nakken said she wrote all the time when she was little, but stopped as a young adult because she couldn’t handle rejection.

“I was too thin skinned,” she said.

She went on to have a career as an accountant before retiring to Tulalip at age 62.

At 78, she has now authored a number of books that have sold well locally.

She hopes if she wins this contest she will become nationally known. “I have all the validation I need” as a writer, she said. “Now I’d like to make some money.”

Nakken has four books for sale on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, the Tulalip and Angels of the Wind gift shops and Rainbow’s End in Everett.

They are: • “Stream and Light, a woman’s journey”: memoirs of 24 stories and three essays.

• “Three point shot”: about high school basketball and prejudice.

• “Sweet Grass Season”: a love story.

• “Jacey Cameron in the Lost State of Franklin”: about magic and time travel.

The last book was supposed to be a trilogy, but Nakken stopped at one because interests among youth have changed.

“If it’s not about vampires or forbidden sex 11-year-olds won’t read it anymore,” she said.

“Come Worship with us... Our doors are always open.”

Students learning respect MARYSVILLE – Students at Cascade Elementary are learning about developing positive character traits at assemblies this year.

They already have learned about citizenship, and the importance of voting. In December they will learn about caring for others around the holidays.

And in January they will learn about being trustworthy. But in November, the theme was respect.

To emphasize that trait, Principal Williams brought in Native American speaker Swil Kanim of the Lummi Tribe. He explained how he was brought up to respect his elders and to listen to

Steve Powell/Staff Photo

Cascade Elementary students laugh as Swil Kanim of the Lummi Tribe performs onstage, teaching them about respecting themselves and others. them not only with his ears, but his heart, too.

Kanim talked about how life is full of choices, and that we are a product of our mistakes, and our successes, no matter how small. Along with being a speaker at schools and other

events all over the world for all ages, Kanim also is an accomplished composer and violinist, having his songs played by the Seattle Symphony.

He played a number of songs for the students.

Williams said she likes

Kanim’s teaching that people need to respect themselves first, before they can respect others.

“Treat them like you care for them,” she said is a philosophy of the school.

Kanim added: “Treat them like you’re going to see them

again, and they will have a desire to see you again.”

Along with respecting yourself, Kanim’s message also was about being yourself. “People are different from me,” he said. “No one else can feel my feelings. Be true to yourself, and say my

feelings are significant.”

Kanim said he often talks to himself in a positive way, giving himself a pep talk.

“What awesome listeners you are,” he told the grade school students. “You listen so respectful. It’s beautiful; warms my heart.”

THE ARLINGTON TIMES.THE MARYSVILLE GLOBE

Winter contests start next week

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood boys basketball team welcomes back nine seniors but the Cougars’ new, coach Anthony Wiederkehr anticipates four of them will standout.

Seniors Hunter Fritz, Chance Schueller, Ryan Alford and Paul Coleman are the team captains, bringing experience to the floor.

“Those four in particular will become better as a unit,” he said.

“They have the fundamentals.”

Though the veteran help is crucial, the team has improved as a whole.

“I think we had an extremely productive off season,” he said.

Wiederkehr watched “from the passenger seat” last season as an assistant coach and said he is ready to lead the Cougars.

“They’ve been with this program longer then I have,” he said.

“Experience on the floor is something hard to replace.”

LAKEWOOD — For the Lakewood girls basketball, it is the underclassmen who are expected to make a difference.

Coach Chris Walster is especially excited for freshman Emily Senyitko, and juniors Hayley Senyitko and Marissa Blair.

Last season, Blair was first team All-Cascade Conference and was the team’s lead scorer and rebounder, and Haley Senyitko was the team’s second highest scorer.

Haley’s younger sister, Emily, will be the “biggest difference maker as a new player,” Walster said.

WINTER FROM Page 14 ARLINGTON — The Arlington girls basketball team graduated 6-foot-1 Lyndsay Leatherman, but returns a handful of players with state experience.

“It’s going to be a little bit different without Lyndsay as our post,” coach Joe Marsh said.

But speed will compensate for the lost height, Marsh said.

“The game is going to be faster,” he said. “Some things will be different but we will still play great defense.”

Juniors Jayla Russ, Emma Janousek and Gracie Castaneda all played during Arlington’s state run at the Tacoma Dome last season.

“Jayla is going to have a big year,” Marsh said.

“Emma has played good defense and Gracie is a great athlete, and that’s good for offense.”

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell basketball returns Taylor Canal, Marina Wika, Kaitlyn McCormick, Justice Vela and Kyrin Jarvis.

MG Shannon Grandbois expects leadership from her experienced group.

“The cool thing about this group, is that I have had these girls for all four years,” MG coach Shannon Grandbois said. “It makes my job a lot easier that they have leadership. They have made leaps and bounds in improvement.”

Jarvis was a state sprinter for MG and thus a “natural athlete,” Grandbois said.

“I think with us we’re just

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck boys basketball team returns promising seniors and underclassmen to its roster.

Seniors adding height and experience will be captain Michael Painter and senior Bryce Vitcovich, both at 6-foot-4, and Cole Grinde

described as a “solid player.”

Returning juniors are Josh Bevan, who had a 38 percent 3-point shooting average last season, 6-foot-4 Nate Heckendorf and Bryce Juneau, who averaged seven assists per game.

MARYSVILLE — Entering its fourth year in athletics, Marysville Getchell’s basketball team returns some players.

One of those, coming off of football, is sophomore

Collin Montez, who saw a lot of time playing last year as freshman.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell wrestling team returns six senior wrestlers.

One of them is Daniel Knowlton, who competed in regionals last season.

“A lot of these guys played, junior varsity,” MG coach Todd Freeman said. “We’ve returned a lot of guys from within our program.”

Chamber leader’s been a fighter during career

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Caldie Rogers should be retiring.

She’s 60. And she’s done many ground-breaking, historic things as president/ chief executive officer of The Greater Marysville-Tulalip Chamber of Commerce for 22 years.

Even though she deserves a long retirement, she’s not going to get one. The Farewell Party the chamber gave her recently wasn’t just about her leaving the agency.

It was about her leaving this life. She has cancer, and sans a miracle she will only be around a few more months.

But this isn’t about her death. That will not define her. Her legacy is about being a fighter. She has led many changes in this community, but her greatest achievement is how she helped bring together the Tulalip and Marysville communities. She fought racism. She fought stereotypes.

She fought history. And she helped break down barriers so both business communities could thrive.

Rogers has led an impressive life. Her father was “Mr. Cuba” during the Cuban Missile Crisis, she got to work with special forces in a military career of “high-level security,” and she’s played politics with the likes of the late Henry “Scoop” Jackson.

She’s also had her share of grief, having lost two husbands and a fiancé by age 32.

As a leader, Rogers has been approached to run for office, but declined. “You can

Career highlights • The only chamber in the U.S. to partner with a sovereign nation, it serves as a bridge between Marysville and Tulalip, uniting both communities. This partnership has been promoted as a national role model by the U.S. Chamber.

•She started a series of award-winning North County Summits that brought eight warring communities together to partner on behalf of economic development.

• She led a county-wide Military Family Friendly Employment Initiative to help employment needs of Armed Forces family members. Other key issues she has been a leader on include: Alternative education programs; Everett Navy Homeport; skate parks in local cities; and a NASCAR facility in north Marysville.

•She has served on the boards of the Association of Washington Business, the Economic Development Council of Snohomish County, Washington Chamber of Commerce Executives board, Marysville Economic Revitalization Commission and Quil Ceda Business Council.

•On four occasions, her chamber has won first place for “Projects That Mobilize People and Move Communities Forward” from the AWB. She has won national awards from the U.S. Chamber for Membership Retention. She was named Outstanding First-Year Chamber Executive from the state Chamber in 1993, and received honors from former President Bush as chairwoman of Snohomish County’s Human Services Commission, for Project Self-Sufficiency, a program that became a national role model for breaking the cycle of poverty for welfare mothers. effect change far better outside than in,” she said.

Growing up in military Rogers was born into a military family in Berlin, Germany, in 1954. Her father later worked for the Pentagon, and she got to play with President Kennedy’s children. “They were younger and annoying,” Rogers recalled. Her dad became a critic of JFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis because “he pulled the plug and left so many to die.” Because Cuba had bombs pointed at Washington, D.C., the family moved to Connecticut.

Later, her dad moved out of the house, and a few years after that her mom kicked Rogers out at age 13. By this time they were in Everett, and she moved in with a friend in the projects near Paine Field. Rogers went on to become what is now called a “couch surfer” staying with friends, never for more than six months because she didn’t want to be a burden.

She would babysit and save money to get by.

At Cascade High School, she took a job as a live-in babysitter with the Millers.

She made $45 a week, got straight A’s and won a myr-

Caldie Rogers iad of scholarships, graduating in 1972.

About this time Rogers tried out to be Miss Everett.

That was a big step for her because she had always considered herself to be a wallflower, compared with her twin sister Wendy. But to her surprise she not only won that title but placed second in the Miss Washington pageant. “I learned to accept myself, and never be jealous again of Wendy’s body,”

Rogers said.

After graduating in communications from the University of Washington she joined the military and worked with special forces.

“I’m blessed with a high I.Q.,” she said, adding she speaks English, Russian, Spanish and German. “I can pick up anything.”

After the military she worked at a drop-out center, lobbying former longtime U.S. Sen. Jackson from Everett. That was the first of many social causes she fought for, trying to improve on the 25 percent dropout rate. She helped start alternative education programs that put kids back in school, forgiving the credits they had lost to give them a chance at success.

At age 32, her little brother and mother both died.

“Mom’s was the worst of all,” she said, adding she would never get another chance to earn her love. She said she hit rock bottom and sought out a grief counselor.

Rogers said she again found her “wisdom of childhood,” where there was no hate or bias. “I went from a chicken to an eagle,” she said. “I vowed to live a kind, loving, forgiving life.”

She also said, “Using humor to build consensus is a valuable piece of leadership.”

Local chambers Soon after, Rogers became executive vice president of the Everett chamber.

“I learned the power of a single voice,” she said, but it wasn’t hers. One person said the town would not be safe for women if a Navy base were there. It wasn’t easy, but she helped bring a Naval Homeport to Everett anyway.

Roger liked working for the Everett chamber, when it had 1,400 members and a large staff.

“It broke my heart that they eventually went bankrupt,” she said. “That was t SEE CHAMBER, PAGE 18

their glory days.”

Rogers moved here from Washington, D.C., and thought she “walked into hill country. What happens in the East is years before it happens in the West,” she said. When she went to a dinner here, and no one knew what sorbet was, she knew the area had to become “less rural.”

Rogers, who has always looked young, being carded until she was 40, said few leaders were women in the Everett area so she helped groom some of them.

“But I wasn’t a woman’s libber,” she said. “I like the door opened for me and meals paid for.”

Rogers said she was so “squeaky clean” she didn’t even learn to swear until she was 40.

Did it help? “Oh my god it was mandate,” she said with a laugh. “It helps release the tension. But it loses its power if you use it all the time.”

Rogers loved Everett’s chamber so her move to Marysville was a shock.

“Marysville was the laughingstock of the chamber industry,” she said, adding it was in debt and in scandal.

But in their ad for a new director they only wanted someone 20 hours a week, with low pay. They wanted someone to turn it around in six months.

“I sent them some advice,” Rogers said, basically saying there was no way that could be done. She gave them a progressive five-year business plan.

Rogers said back then Marysville had a chamber of the “Three P’s: Pancakes, Pageants and Parades.” She told them their outdated view of chamber members just paying dues wouldn’t get

them out of debt.

Rogers went to talk to them; they thought it was a job interview, but she didn’t, she said. They did some fund-raising and hired her.

There were no benefits, but she decided to help set them on track and then go back home to Everett. She never did.

Rogers was able to pay off the debt in 13 months.

She did laborious research and published a book called “Marysville Beckons.” She already was turning the “Three P’s” chamber into one that mirrored the corporate world, with returns on investments.

While city boards were slow to change from the good old boy attitude because they were elected, change was easier for Rogers and the chamber. Because her members were appointed, it turned over within three years, and she was able to train them to be more progressive.

As to why she stayed in Marysville so long, she said she was offered positions in Lynnwood and Everett, but “by now I wasn’t sure I wanted to do another rebuild.”

Raising “The Bear” Rogers was so busy with her job she said her son, Nathan Hansen, was always the first guy at day care and the last guy to be picked up.

But on weekends, his friends always stayed at The Little Red House. When they got older, there was an effort by the city to ban skateboarding. They wanted skateboarders to go to Bellevue to use that park. Rogers used that opportunity as a teaching moment for her son and his friends.

They made fliers and put them up around town to gain support and get people to go to the council meeting. They rallied at Comeford Park and skateboarded to council. The

“I was not there to say a word,” Rogers said.

The council called Nathan to the podium. He was asked how the group could say Bellevue was too far to go to skateboarding when he was able to go there with 11 friends for his birthday.

“She saved for six months so she could do that for me,” he said of his mom.

Not only did the council not ban skateboarding, it did a complete 180 and decided to build a skatepark here.

The kids went on to help other communities get skateparks, too.

Now that she had the boys interested in local politics, she then made sure they all registered to vote when they were 18. They would talk of the pros and cons of candidates and issues over a barbecue.

Many of his friends were wealthier, coming from twoincome families. But Nate didn’t seem to mind. When one new friend came over the first time, Nate gave him a tour of The Little Red House. “Where’s the rest of the house?” the friend asked.

“That’s it,” Nate responded with a smile.

Hansen, now 31, works for Key Bank. “I’m the best schmoozer because of you,” he has told her. Hansen has moved back in to the Little Red House where he grew up

to help his mom during her final months.

Fighting to break barriers Growing up in the 1950s, Rogers was ahead of her time being color blind. One of her best friends was a black “mammy” who worked for her parents. Rogers used to snuggle mammy when she was upset with her own family. Once, mammy took young Rogers into a black outhouse because there was a long line at the white one. When they came out, mammy was stoned by the crowd. Rogers tried to protect her friend, who was bleeding from her head.

Rogers remembers crying because she didn’t understand what was going on.

But when she first came to Marysville she saw “racism like the times going back to the ‘50s. I wanted to partner with them and create a bridge across I-5,” she said of the Tulalip Tribes.

She started a program called Project Self Sufficient.

She educated, enabled and empowered the welfare mothers.

“They were amazing, the most courageous people,” Rogers said. “They were the most dedicated, loyal and can-do people.”

She said they would get their kids off to school, go to school themselves, pick their kids up from school, go to work, study until 1-2 a.m.,

Another fight Rogers has been involved in is getting sales tax money for the tribes.

Even though tribal members don’t pay taxes, others do when paying for items on tribal land. The Tulalips just want that money back from the state, the same as municipalities do. Rogers has been criticized by some for supporting that cause.

“Nothing could have prepared me for the good old boys. The depth of history and hate” for the Tulalips amazed her, she said.

Another battle involving the tribes involved their effort to build a Wal Mart on the reservation. The labor union wanted to kill that idea. Rogers was able to help stop that threat pretty quickly by asking the union when Lynnwood built its Wal Mart the previous year, did you fight it?

No was the answer.

“So why fight it on the reservation?” she asked, ending that debate.

Rogers said one bad move the city made recently was annexing tribal land without talking with the tribes. She said that hurt relations that took her more than 20 years to build.

“Now there’s a new wave of racism starting,” she said.

She loves and respects the tribal members. “I adore their loyalty, ethics and vision,” she said.

Her biggest accomplishment is working with the tribes, Rogers said.

“It was the patriotic thing to do,” she said. “They are much more than Premium Outlets. They developed 116th and 172nd. They went from being needy to being a leading power. The tribes opened doors for new economic development in the area.”

Fighting for businesses Rogers hasn’t just fought for the tribes but for other businesses in her chamber, too.

One fight happened when there was an effort by the city to raise water rates.

“The new rate structure would have killed everybody,” she said, adding businesses such as Pacific Coast Feathers settled on Marysville thanks in part to

low water rates. Some rates would have doubled or even tripled. She helped fill the council chamber for weeks to protest. Finally, a new rate structure was configured that got the city the money it needed, and the cost was equally shared, Rogers said.

Rogers’ relationship with chamber merchants has not always been great. When the city asked for her help with revitalization a downtown merchant almost hit her.

Items were thrown at her when she went to the microphone at a meeting.

“We don’t want another shoe store in town” was their attitude, Rogers said. “We don’t want roundabouts and trees” because they take away parking spots. Rogers said she understood their oldfashioned “knee-jerk reaction.”

“Change is terrifying” for a lot of people, she said. “But I’m an agent for change for the better. We have a right, no a responsibility, to speak up.”

At one point, there was an effort to kill local chambers and only have one big one at the county level. Rogers fought it to keep a local voice. She said the county chamber had an elitist attitude, wanting to focus mostly on Boeing. But Marysville had mostly small businesses of five workers or less. While some local chambers joined in with the county idea it quickly failed, losing mass members after its first year because it wasn’t representative of all the communities.

Rogers as a mediator Rogers has played mediator between the Tulalips and city many times. One effort was the tribes didn’t like the water tower being used as a symbol of Marysville.

“This isn’t Petticott Junction,” Rogers recalled them saying, referring to the old TV show. “I got phone calls of rage that would blow my hair back.”

The Tulalips wanted to boycott Marysville businesses. Such a strike would have put many in Marysville out of business. So she explained to the tribes: “(Chairman) Stan Jones, you won’t be able to use Elmer then as your barber.

Garden club raises funds to help others

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Vendor Cindy Martinez sells gift items to Laurie Nast. than $5,000 over the past year, due to both the holiday show and its annual plant sale in May, which are its two fundraisers.

Ness expects the club will continue to donate proceeds

to the city of Arlington and the Arlington High School Future Farmers of America.

“In years past, our donations have offset the costs of the city’s hanging baskets downtown,” Ness said.

And you are going to have to provide buses to take people elsewhere to shop.”

We can’t afford that, Rogers said the tribes responded. “That was music to my ears,” she said.

The city also was making demands. It wanted the tribes to do something that actually was illegal because it was restraint of trade. The mayor at the time didn’t want the tribe to bring in any business that would compete with one already in Marysville. But by working together they came up with a mountain to the ocean theme they both liked for logos and came to other consensus.

Another battle she fought was in favor of NASCAR building a track between Marysville and Smokey Point. She was asked by county officials to help inform people on the issue.

“It was all fear, not knowledge based,” Rogers said.

As a result, she became an enemy of the anti-NASCAR people. “They thought it would upset their wonderful country life,” she said, adding how ironic it is that area is now full of businesses.

She described a meeting she went to. A “shock jock” was hired to stir up the crowd. He led a chant of “Death to Caldie Rogers.”

He then heard that she had arrived and said, “Caldie Rogers is in the building.”

The jock then asked women point blank if they were Caldie Rogers. When the jock got to her, she spoke quietly so everyone would quiet down to listen.

She said: “You all care so much, I can’t admire you more. Thank you for letting me speak. You have a passion for your community, and you want to make it great.”

ARLINGTON — The third year of the Arlington Garden Club’s holiday arts and crafts show coincides with the club’s 80th year.

Show co-chair Judy Ness reported that the Nov. 22 event at the Gleneagle Golf Club recruited 38 vendors, enough that they needed both the indoor space and an outdoor tent to hold them all, for a second year in a row.

Ness believed that the event would draw around 800 attendees, at least as many as last year.

The club has raised more

CALDIE FROM Page 18

Those comments quickly took the hate out of the room, she said.

One of Rogers’ favorite projects was helping military women get jobs. She was raised in a military family so she knew how tough it was for spouses to get work, based on short assignments and being transferred to different communities. She felt that idea was outdated because duty stations were getting longer. She started a county initiative giving preference for jobs to military families, and every council and tribe has adopted it.

Dealing with death Most of Rogers’ family died by the time she worked for the Everett chamber.

“Each death takes away a little part of you,” she said.

“Grief can hit you in cycles.”

The first year it’s all you think of. But when it happens again, it brings back all the other losses, she said.

Besides Nathan, her only relative is Wendy, who is half an hour younger. “We are at extreme ends of the spectrum,” Rogers said. “She says I’m stupid for working for people in need. But I’m blessed with a huge circle of friends.” Rogers started noticing her health problems about two years ago, when she started having mini strokes. No salt was getting into her organs. She could not eat much. She started having problems with her balance, breaking her nose on a hearth on one fall. She started to have seizures. Her spine is in decay. She has a tumor near her brain stem that can’t be operated on.

She said doctors have her on a heavy dose of medications that include low-drip opium so her driving is restricted.

It’s frustrating because she’s been independent for so long. “I’m not used to being

Resignation letter Due to an incurable health condition, it is with profound regret that I have submitted my resignation as President/ CEO of The Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce.

I will continue to serve by providing help and assistance to the formation and process of an Executive Selection Committee. Subject to the speed of physical deterioration that lies ahead of me, I also hope to be involved in the creation and launching of our 2015 Legislative Agenda...

There simply are no words to express the joy, pride, and gratitude that I feel for what we have accomplished over the last 22 years...

Caldie Rogers weak,” Rogers said. “It’s come slowly.” Her doctors have tried some “Hail Mary’s” experimental treatments to try to prolong her life. But Rogers said she’s ready for those to stop. She feels they are doing more harm than good. “I’m ready to accept what’s coming,” she said.

When word got out about Rogers’ illness and retirement, the chamber was inundated with phone calls. The community has been so caring. “I’ve never seen a community so church oriented,” she said.

Rogers said when she was young and alone, “angels kept me company. I had a spiritual manifestation.

I admire people who have faith without that.”

Although she retired Oct. 15, Rogers is still working to help the chamber be functional when she’s gone.

“God take anything but not my skills,” she said, emotion evident in her voice as she feels she still has work to do. “I have to let go.”
